When Self-trust Feels Unsafe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why is it so hard to trust yourself? Why do you ask twelve people for advice and still feel unsure? Why do you know what you want and then immediately doubt it? Why does saying no feel dangerous?

In this episode, Alyssa explores self-trust through the Safety Map lens and asks a deeper question: What if self-trust is not a confidence issue? What if it is built through internal safety?

Instead, dysregulation may be your body activating resources for protection. The deeper question is not, “How do I calm down faster
Why Kids Lie, Hide, Melt Down, or Push Back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why do kids lie when telling the truth would clearly be easier? Why do they hide what we are obviously going to find? Why do they melt down over something tiny? Why do they argue, push back, shut down, or act like they have never heard the thing we have said 47,622 times? In this episode, Alyssa explores children’s behavior through the Safety Map lens and asks a deeper question: What is this behavior protecting? You’ll learn why lying may be about survivability, why children become more honest w
